Made a Fortune ia Few Days.
New York Sun.

New York Sun.
One OF the handsomest equipages
on Fifth avenue recently was driven
by young Irishman who arrived in
this city from Cork two or three
weeks ago with $500 in his pocket.
He had come to see the United States,
and the $500 was to pay his expenses.
One OF the acquaintance he made
was q newspaper man, who took the
visitor down into Wall street to show
him the sights there, and quite by
chance introduced him to one OF the
Stock Exchange magnates. The Irish
lad had story or two, new and sue
culent; the Stock Exchange man liked
them and an offhand friendship sprang
up forthwith. The Stock Exchange
man was bear; what more natural
than that the youth from Cork should
be invited into the ranks? In went
his $500 promptly. He didn't have
long to wait; little by little the stock
market began to split; soon it was
wide open. The $500 swelled into
$4,000 in few days; then 1t grew to
twice 5000, and when a recent crash
came the figure doubled once again, and
$50, 900 stood to the credit OF the
mere chit OF a boy who had never ex-
pected to handle so much money in
many n year to come. He has bought
a horse and carriage. He has moved
from his quiet boarding house to
first-class hotel. He is going to make
that $4,000 change to 100000 be-
fore he goes to his home over the
ocean-so he says. There is just
bare possibility, though, that il he
doesn't let Wall street alone he may
be disappointed. II he stays in Wall
street long enough somebody else may
be driving that horse, and he may be
glad to borrow money to get ticket
over the sea.

Yesterday, JIne l7th, our enter prlsing townsman, Dr. J. H. Taggart, placed upon our table three clusters of luscious, ripe grapes, grown in his gar d,n. They are of the Golden Chas selas and Black Hamburg varieties. We have claimed, on the strength of what was done last year in this direc. tion by the young vines, that Yuma could produce ripe grapes earlier than any other section on the coast, and thanks to our semitropic cline, oul claim is verified. With bearing vine yards Yuma could supply the markets with Grapes six weeks ahc al of any othcr section. This fact is becoming noised abroad and hence the present unprecedented rush for lands in this vicinity. A vineyard'at Yuma vii prove a bonanza to its owner, and tht time is near at hand when lands her, will command fabulous prices.
